Forum Discussion
So many updates while I was updating! :joy: <3 I love how active we all are right now!
@Wentcrazy I hope you get the chance to move again in October!
@IllusoryThrall omg I love the restaurant you built for Evergreen Harbor! It's so beautifully industrial! Also the community space looks fantastic. I also almost went for a container lot but I still get to play it vicariously through your pics :wink: btw, don't feel inadequate! :joy: I'm not even a builder, for real. I just have a... uhm... issue... with clutter :sweat_smile: I just can't control myself with clutter :sweat_smile: ... as for your posts, personally, I have to admit that I would prefer them to be here just because I know myself and how bad I can be at keeping track of blogs when I'm most of the time in this forum. BUT if you feel like posting over there, I'll try my best to follow it :smile: you could also do as @Mionax suggested: post here the main highlights and then go much more in dept in your blog!
@JordanNicoleJJ thank you so much for linking that bug report! Of course I clicked on it faster than light. Yeah, I'm super annoyed at the footprint too... it would have made so much sense having it industrial by default! What I'm experiencing are such wiiiiide swings to neutral despite going full industrial, in, like, just 5 seconds of the game. Pablita is most definitely still here in my game! I haven't changed save file, I'm still playing the same from Willow Creek, so the whole Austin fam is still there in the back :smile: I was totally feeling that I should also upload her to the gallery too, since I just gave her a cc-free makeover.
Aaaaa we updated almost at the same time! Man, all of the clothes piles :joy: :bawling: it's such a pain in my game too. She even takes them off in the shower and lets them get all wet. It's nasty! Iris is such an adorable sim, but she really makes it difficult to manage the laundry :joy: -I totally foreshadowed Haven becoming the heir when I saw him almost burning the entire kitchen to the ground! Lol that eyeroll pic is so funny! I'm glad that you decided to send him to college. I totally want to do that too with my future heir. Kudos to Haven for aaaaaall those distinguished degrees! He must have ground a ton of skills during his teen years! His young adult makeover is so good :flushed: and Suri is so cute too! Loved the outfits tour, you really went wild with the Foxbury theme :joy: I'm still astonished at how much progress you make in game, whether it's jobs or aspirations... I barely manage to get anything done, compared to you! #gamegoals I'll have to do better from now on :grimace: the snow looked amazing in Evergreen Harbor! The decorations were super cute too! I'm conflicted about Haven attending uni from home, 'cause I would love to see him in a dorm, exploring college life, but at the same time I still want him to spend time with the family :bawling: I love how Winterfest-y Winterfest felt in your game, the table decor looked literally perfect. Of course, to make the day even better, you had to throw a proposal in there! <3 I feel sorry for Eden for being overshadowed by her brother, but she's definitely gorgeous! Honestly, I hope MCCC gives her the best <3
@Mionax I wasn't expecting you to start over with a new save, but I'm glad you did 'cause now at least I'm not the only one left behind :tongue: the degrees help a lot with getting tons of money, though, so I don't blame you for wanting to fix the issue. I love the black and white kitchen! We have the same floor plan if I'm not mistaken, right? Yet our styles are so different! :mrgreen: I love it! Lol we're so much on the opposite side of the spectrum, when it comes to twin pregnancies :joy: :joy: :joy: I would never turn on that lot trait! I can't deal with twins, I just had soooo many of them in game already. BUT I LOVE your twin boys, they're the cutest!!! Plus, their trait is my favorite eheh. I like the twin girls too, but the boys are just my faves at the moment. It's crazy how different looking they are genetically, even as toddlers! That third pregnancy tho... :joy: :bawling: I'm shivering in your place just by thinking about it :joy: I feel like you would have kept going with twin pregnancies if there wasn't a cap limit of 8 sims per household :joy:
@Heckstress17 I hope that the virtual classes go well for your kids! I've done everything virtual with my university since the pandemic started, both classes and exams, and it was actually a really nice experience. I hope you still have time to play, tho, and that you won't have to become a 24/7 teacher :grimace: I'm glad to know I'm not the only one without Photoshop lol, I use Gimp! Being such a noob at editing, I was lucky to get a couple of forum posts, otherwise, I would have never figured out how to do it. (I'm totally going to upload Pablita to the gallery soon, since I just gave her a cc-free makeover :mrgreen: )- btw: no, you don't get poisoned from woohooing in a dumpster, that was the bees that swarmed Aiyden early in the morning. It's not sanitary anyway and I 100% wouldn't recommend, but it doesn't lead to being poisoned. I totally feel you on not wanting to get rid of the cc skin. it was sooooo hard deciding to get rid of it too (though the folder is still there on my pc, safe and sound). I don't regret it, though, 'cause I get to see the sims I'm playing with in their "natural" form if you get what I mean :joy: also: I can't thank you enough for linking the NPCC mod. I'm using it and it's such a game changer!! No more horrible-same-looking townies! I get to have npcs that I actually download and place in game :bawling:
Anyway, on to the teenage years! I'm so glad you found the same cc hair for Fawn, she really looks soooo good with that hairstyle! Her and Zack are so cute together, my poor shipping heart :bawling: Silas got a gorgeous girlfriend too! Yes, bless the NPCC mod!! Tbh, you got me so conflicted about the one I would choose as heir. Both Silas and Fawn are so adorable. Aaaaaw, yes, moody Aiyden even in the afterlife, that's how we like him :joy: ... I actually got emotional at your elder Iris being all depressed and sad about Aiyden and Knox's death. I would honestly love for her to live long enough to see grandkids, but something tells me that she won't make it :bawling: she would be adorable as a grandma, I know it. But her kids seem to be nowhere near ready to have kids of their own. Hey, there was progress, tho! I'm looking at you, Silas, finally able to seal the deal with Ashlynn :wink: (lol that pic of Fawn judging them hard was so funny :joy: )
@Francisca464 welcome back!!! <3 I've also just started playing after the longest hiatus ever, I didn't open my game for almost six months. If you feel like playing again, you know you're more than welcome to join the challenge! :blush: I guess that people already shared their house shells with you. Just so you know that I totally feel you on the building part.
@debjameswhite nope the smog didn't come back :cry: or, actually, in my last update it did... for, like, 5 seconds. I give up on it, I'll just impatiently wait for the devs to fix this issue. It was the part I was excited the most about the whole pack and it sucks that it doesn't work the way I wanted it to. I enjoy this challenge and playing with you guys, though, so just like you said I can live with it for the time being :smile: (don't even mention the forniture-swiping thing... I might pop a vein if I think about it lol). Aiyden is such a meme right now :joy: ... also, no, you don't get poisoned by woohooing in a dumpster. That was the bees' doing! I have the creepy crawlers lot trait, so my sims get attacked by bats, spiders and bees (and the bees sometimes can get your sim poisoned just like in Selva Dorada). I totally want to get Lia and Heath married asap if MCCC doesn't do it (they are just girlfriend/boyfriend in my game right now), and I also want them to make some kids so that they can be playmates with the Greenes'. Heath helped a lot with ruining Evergreen Harbor's environment, but all of his sweat didn't achieve a single thing :sweat_smile: let's not tell the Greene :tongue:
@OJenn you made so much progress in game! :blush: the Winterfest holidays were so cute to see! I love the pics of kids opening presents near the tree, it's adorable. The adult makeovers for Iris and Aiyden are the best, you did such a good job! Also, I totally love that Aiyden's beeing moody in your game too :tongue: OMG is that cc birthday cake?? It has to be, I've never seen in game! The kids are such cuties as teens, but you're right about them having very little Aidyen genes. Still, I would be veeery happy to have such cute teens in my game :sweat_smile:
@Wentcrazy I hope you get the chance to move again in October!
